RAPHA

On Friday March 21st 2014, 14 women from around the USA gathered in Los Angeles to discuss the state of cycling.

The Rapha Women Ambassadors met for an informal training camp, while discussing the state of affairs in clothing and racing. The Calling, as it has become known, served as a reboot for the Ambassador program, as well as a first-time meeting for many of the women involved.

Then, after the weekend came to a close, six of the women rode from L.A. to Sacramento, following the 2014 Tour of California route. Retracing the tire tracks of the Rapha Continental, who followed the route in 2009, these women tackled everything that California in late March had to offer them, from coastal highways to some of the best climbs in the country.

SAGmonkey provided the professional support for the Women Ambassadors.
